Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz made history on Friday night as the first rookie to ever hit four home runs in an MLB game.

A four-game sweep at the hands of the last-place A’s at Daikin Park highlighted a depleted lineup and saw another starting pitcher join baseball’s longest injured list.

Kotsay mentioned Royals rookie Jac Caglianone, who was drafted two spots after Kurtz in last year’s Draft and landed on the injured list with a hamstring strain on Sunday, as a cautionary tale.
